  1. Re:Look again on Unpleasant Surprises for Online Real Estate Buyers · · Score: 1

    But legalized prostitution and gambling around that area couldn't have anything to do with that. No sir.

    On the contrary! Someone made a .Net runtime for linux, so it's technically cross-platform now :)

    Looking through the list... some of these are pretty random. I mean, is Deep Impact really that anti-communist?

    Consider that you can get (very) basic cable for around $15/month... it's a total rip-off.

    No, no... We had homework too, and I did that, and I read the chapter. Even after that, those bullshit pre-lecture problems were still impossible to do.

    No, it is you, my friend, who are wrong. I have firsthand experience with the worst professor ever. He used a PRS system to ask stupid questions, and he yelled at the lecture class if most of us got it wrong. Never did he consider that he should actually TEACH the subject, instead of just assuming we knew how to do it already. He was even onto us to do some pre-lecture bullshit problem that was essentially impossible to get the right answer, aside from guessing. The only thing that class really taught me is to hate that professor, and to hate PRS.

    I wanted to turn it into a phaser and shoot him with it.

    The voters also approved the pig amendment, forcing people/companies transporting pregnant pigs to provide them enough room to turn around.

    The pig is about to be killed. Do we really care if it can turn around? IT's NOW IN THE FLORIDA CONSTITUTION.

    As is an amendment to lower class sizes, but since they're too panzy to raise taxes, they try to cut tons of other programs (the nearest bus stop was three miles away in either direction) to make up for it.

    Bah. People are stupid.

    Back on the subject of M$, $3000 is more than I make in an entire summer. I would object to paying $3000/hour to anyone, unless the fate of the world rested in their hands. No, not even sports stars or pop culture figures. Just becuase M$ gets slapped around, does NOT mean it is a good thing. Think of our large export deficit. M$ makes lots of money for the US GDP (not sure that that's the right acronym). So despite them having tons and tons of cash and having a finger in every technology, we can be happy that they are based in the US.

  21. Re:Adios, Disney on Pixar Drops Disney To Find a New Studio Partner · · Score: 1

    I can proudly say that I have not watched:
    Atlantis
    Emperors New Groove
    Dinosaur
    Treasure Planet
    Cinderella2
    PeterPan2
    LionKing2
    Aladdin 2&3
    et cetera. And few people will blame me for not seeing them-- in fact, I'm sure that many people are like me in that they have seen Lion King, the classic (i.e., actually good) Disney works, but they paid no attention to the remakes, copies of plotlines, et cetera. Disney is probably too large for their own good; it is the corporate monolith that has to censor everything and make it fit their past, when they should not be so focused on political correctness. People are not politically correct!

  22. Re:What to expect.. on H2G2 Cast Finalized, Starts Shooting in April · · Score: 1

    I don't know how they would fit any measure of the irony, the satire, the wonderful humor on which I feel the book is based, into a ride. Sure, you can take kids, throw them onto a metal box, and shoot that box around in a circle-- but that is nothing compared to what I think of H2G2 as, a literary masterpiece.

    A good secondary rendition of something that I can recall is the French release of Notre Dame De Paris in an opera-- excellent singing, the songs are so addictive, and so well sung.

    Twenty? Try ten, max. Don't want people forgetting about the movie...

  23. How many does it take? on Australian Firm Asks SCO To Detail Evidence · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Is anyone keeping a tally of how much moolah SCO has invested in the court system right now? Just to think, all of that MS money is going to feed hungry lawyers, all over the world! Darl should be proud. Also, it will be interesting to see how many simultaneous lawsuits it takes to kill the SCO Legal Team (also known as SCO). There's one from Austrailia, one in the UK(?), all the stuff between SCO and IBM, SCO v. Red Hat, SCO vs. Everyone Who Wishes to Smite SCO, et cetera...
